“Give thanks to God for everything.
Try to be manly. Pull yourself together a bit.
Do you know what Christians are suffering in other countries?
But here many exhibit indifference.
There’s not enough disposition to kindness, love of devotion.
Today we continue to call ourselves Orthodox Christians, but we don’t live Orthodox lives.”
Struggle with all your power to gain Paradise.
And do not listen to those who say that everyone will be saved.
This is trap of Satan so that we won’t struggle.
Elder Paisios of the Holy Mountain
